that a court has ruled it was no big deal when Muslims broke into the Cordoba Cathedral<\/a> and held their own prayer services \u2013 against the wishes of the Catholics whose Cathedral it is.\u00a0 Despite it being done by force.\u00a0 Despite violence breaking out on the part of the Muslims.\u00a0 Despite there being a law in Spain against such assaults on religious faith.\u00a0 The court has ruled no big deal.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 <\/p>\nFirst, because the Western liberal movement is based on a loathing of its own Christian heritage.\u00a0 All other beliefs and faiths, once again, are superior.\u00a0 Second, many on the Left are scared to death of Islam, and tend to do their best Dr. Smith from Lost in Space<\/em> impersonations when confronted by a resolute Islamic movement.\u00a0 Third, let\u2019s be honest.\u00a0 Many on the Left consider anything not of Christianity to\u00a0be allies against the common enemy.\u00a0 Spain has been moving radically toward a hostile rejection of its Christian roots.\u00a0 This is simply one more movement in that direction. <\/p>\nWe need only ask if Christians broke into a mosque using violence and intimidation, if the result would have been the same.\u00a0 I doubt it.\u00a0 First, there would have been an international outcry.\u00a0 Second, the likelihood of Muslims across the world turning out to protest such an action, even violently, is rather high.\u00a0 Third, Christians don\u2019t issue fatwas.\u00a0 Despite the insights of such intellectual giants as Joy Behar and Tavis Smiley, it would appear that most people, when push comes to shove, don\u2019t really believe Christians are more violent than everyone else in the world today.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
All in all, one more step in the West\u2019s final and ultimate rejection of its Christian roots.\u00a0 And if that has to include increasing violence against the religion that helped bring its culture to life, so be it.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
